Far-Right Leader Faces Incitement Charges

(November 24, 2008)

The head of the Movement Against Illegal Immigration (DPNI), Aleksandr
Belov, faces charges of inciting ethnic hatred, according to a
November 24, 2008 report by the RIA-Novosti news agency. The charges
stem from statements he allegedly made at last year's "Russian
March"--an annual gathering of far-right and neo-Nazi groups that
police rarely interfere with. The DPNI is Russia's largest far-right
group, and though it has suffered a split in leadership, its ideas are
becoming more mainstream, evidenced by RussiaRelated stories
